Oh, and Peter Webber who directed Girl With a Pearl Earring is going to direct this film. I thought that was an amazing movie, so I am super excited for this movie.

Wuthering Heights Movie
According to the MTV Movie blog, Gemma Arterton and Ed Westwick are going to star in a new version of Wuthering Heights. I post links about YA book movies and whatnot every so often, but I am actually really excited about this one!! I *heart* Ed Westwick. And now I'll get to see him do not only his brooding and rakishly cocked eyebrow (which he does so well!), but also hear his real British accent. [Swoon] Elisabeth Rappe from MTV seems to be complaining a little about how this is one of the three pieces of English literature that "are regularly dusted off for a big screen adaptation." But you know what? I think it should be (along with the two she mentions - Jane Eyre and Pride and Prejudice - and Hamlet). They are great stories and I love to see them interpreted (especially Hamlet, which is meant to be performed and interpreted). I loved the Keira Knightley version of Pride and Prejudice, even though I also loved the Colin Firth version, for example. And every time they are redone with "the hottest actor or actress of the moment," it gets a new generation interested in the story. Sure, there are some stories people probably would rather watch the old version of over and over again and never want to see redone, but most teens would probably rather see the story done by contemporary actors with modern filming. I'm sure it's blasphemy to say this, but I'd be happy to see Gone With the Wind redone now.

When I was in high school I wanted to shoot myself while reading this book. But the movie, with that hot guy? I'll check it out.
Wuthering Heights annoyed me, but I do love Chuck from Gossip Girls :)
Agreed about the annoyingness of the book, but I still want to see the movie.
I know this is an older post but I just have to say that I can't believe people found this book "annoying" I absolutely love and adore it. Catherine is my favorite heroine of all time. The passion and the gut-wrenching heartache move the story forward at break-neck speed. love love love it.cant wait for the movie.
As a Newbie, I am always searching online for articles that can help me. Thank you
